May 2010

As I mentioned at the end of the last blog, summer life in Park City has begun and there have been a few significant changes in my life that I am very excited to share. Since Dynastar pulled out of the U.S. Ski Team pool and therefore dropped my sponsorship I have been on the search for skis for the 2010-2011 season. I am happy to announce that, after a thorough testing camp in Mammoth California, I finally found the right company, Fischer. I will be competing on Fischer skis and boots this upcoming season and think that this change may be a blessing in disguise because, although I had a great time trying all the different companies’ set-ups, I really like the way the Fischer set-up works with my skiing style.

Also, I have moved into a new apartment in Park City with teammate Chelsea Marshall for the summer. Although it is not very big, it is very cute and has a perfect location between Park City Mountain resort’s bike trails and Main Street.

Lastly, I have started a summer job at a bakery. Many of you know but my second passion after skiing is baking. I am hoping this job will allow me to learn a lot about preparing food and also how to run a bakery. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first few days at my new job and don’t feel that dipping cookies in chocolate and decorating tarts can be called work!
